# Azure Web PubSub SDK for Java

Build real-time web applications using the Azure Web PubSub SDK for Java.

## Installation

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-messaging-webpubsub</artifactId>
    <version>1.5.0</version>
</dependency>
```

## Client Creation

### With Connection String

```java
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.WebPubSubServiceClient;
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.WebPubSubServiceClientBuilder;

WebPubSubServiceClient client = new WebPubSubServiceClientBuilder()
    .connectionString("<connection-string>")
    .hub("chat")
    .buildClient();
```

### With Access Key

```java
import com.azure.core.credential.AzureKeyCredential;

WebPubSubServiceClient client = new WebPubSubServiceClientBuilder()
    .credential(new AzureKeyCredential("<access-key>"))
    .endpoint("<endpoint>")
    .hub("chat")
    .buildClient();
```

### With DefaultAzureCredential

```java
import com.azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder;

WebPubSubServiceClient client = new WebPubSubServiceClientBuilder()
    .credential(new DefaultAzureCredentialBuilder().build())
    .endpoint("<endpoint>")
    .hub("chat")
    .buildClient();
```

### Async Client

```java
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.WebPubSubServiceAsyncClient;

WebPubSubServiceAsyncClient asyncClient = new WebPubSubServiceClientBuilder()
    .connectionString("<connection-string>")
    .hub("chat")
    .buildAsyncClient();
```

## Key Concepts

- **Hub**: Logical isolation unit for connections
- **Group**: Subset of connections within a hub
- **Connection**: Individual WebSocket client connection
- **User**: Entity that can have multiple connections

## Core Patterns

### Send to All Connections

```java
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.models.WebPubSubContentType;

// Send text message
client.sendToAll("Hello everyone!", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);

// Send JSON
String jsonMessage = "{\"type\": \"notification\", \"message\": \"New update!\"}";
client.sendToAll(jsonMessage, WebPubSubContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);
```

### Send to All with Filter

```java
import com.azure.core.http.rest.RequestOptions;
import com.azure.core.util.BinaryData;

BinaryData message = BinaryData.fromString("Hello filtered users!");

// Filter by userId
client.sendToAllWithResponse(
    message,
    WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN,
    message.getLength(),
    new RequestOptions().addQueryParam("filter", "userId ne 'user1'"));

// Filter by groups
client.sendToAllWithResponse(
    message,
    WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN,
    message.getLength(),
    new RequestOptions().addQueryParam("filter", "'GroupA' in groups and not('GroupB' in groups)"));
```

### Send to Group

```java
// Send to all connections in a group
client.sendToGroup("java-developers", "Hello Java devs!", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);

// Send JSON to group
String json = "{\"event\": \"update\", \"data\": {\"version\": \"2.0\"}}";
client.sendToGroup("subscribers", json, WebPubSubContentType.APPLICATION_JSON);
```

### Send to Specific Connection

```java
// Send to a specific connection by ID
client.sendToConnection("connectionId123", "Private message", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
```

### Send to User

```java
// Send to all connections for a specific user
client.sendToUser("andy", "Hello Andy!", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
```

### Manage Groups

```java
// Add connection to group
client.addConnectionToGroup("premium-users", "connectionId123");

// Remove connection from group
client.removeConnectionFromGroup("premium-users", "connectionId123");

// Add user to group (all their connections)
client.addUserToGroup("admin-group", "userId456");

// Remove user from group
client.removeUserFromGroup("admin-group", "userId456");

// Check if user is in group
boolean exists = client.userExistsInGroup("admin-group", "userId456");
```

### Manage Connections

```java
// Check if connection exists
boolean connected = client.connectionExists("connectionId123");

// Close a connection
client.closeConnection("connectionId123");

// Close with reason
client.closeConnection("connectionId123", "Session expired");

// Check if user exists (has any connections)
boolean userOnline = client.userExists("userId456");

// Close all connections for a user
client.closeUserConnections("userId456");

// Close all connections in a group
client.closeGroupConnections("inactive-group");
```

### Generate Client Access Token

```java
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.models.GetClientAccessTokenOptions;
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.models.WebPubSubClientAccessToken;

// Basic token
WebPubSubClientAccessToken token = client.getClientAccessToken(
    new GetClientAccessTokenOptions());
System.out.println("URL: " + token.getUrl());

// With user ID
WebPubSubClientAccessToken userToken = client.getClientAccessToken(
    new GetClientAccessTokenOptions().setUserId("user123"));

// With roles (permissions)
WebPubSubClientAccessToken roleToken = client.getClientAccessToken(
    new GetClientAccessTokenOptions()
        .setUserId("user123")
        .addRole("webpubsub.joinLeaveGroup")
        .addRole("webpubsub.sendToGroup"));

// With groups to join on connect
WebPubSubClientAccessToken groupToken = client.getClientAccessToken(
    new GetClientAccessTokenOptions()
        .setUserId("user123")
        .addGroup("announcements")
        .addGroup("updates"));

// With custom expiration
WebPubSubClientAccessToken expToken = client.getClientAccessToken(
    new GetClientAccessTokenOptions()
        .setUserId("user123")
        .setExpiresAfter(Duration.ofHours(2)));
```

### Grant/Revoke Permissions

```java
import com.azure.messaging.webpubsub.models.WebPubSubPermission;

// Grant permission to send to a group
client.grantPermission(
    WebPubSubPermission.SEND_TO_GROUP,
    "connectionId123",
    new RequestOptions().addQueryParam("targetName", "chat-room"));

// Revoke permission
client.revokePermission(
    WebPubSubPermission.SEND_TO_GROUP,
    "connectionId123",
    new RequestOptions().addQueryParam("targetName", "chat-room"));

// Check permission
boolean hasPermission = client.checkPermission(
    WebPubSubPermission.SEND_TO_GROUP,
    "connectionId123",
    new RequestOptions().addQueryParam("targetName", "chat-room"));
```

### Async Operations

```java
asyncClient.sendToAll("Async message!", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    .subscribe(
        unused -> System.out.println("Message sent"),
        error -> System.err.println("Error: " + error.getMessage())
    );

asyncClient.sendToGroup("developers", "Group message", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN)
    .doOnSuccess(v -> System.out.println("Sent to group"))
    .doOnError(e -> System.err.println("Failed: " + e))
    .subscribe();
```

## Error Handling

```java
import com.azure.core.exception.HttpResponseException;

try {
    client.sendToConnection("invalid-id", "test", WebPubSubContentType.TEXT_PLAIN);
} catch (HttpResponseException e) {
    System.out.println("Status: " + e.getResponse().getStatusCode());
    System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
}
```

## Environment Variables

```bash
WEB_PUBSUB_CONNECTION_STRING=Endpoint=https://<resource>.webpubsub.azure.com;AccessKey=...
WEB_PUBSUB_ENDPOINT=https://<resource>.webpubsub.azure.com
WEB_PUBSUB_ACCESS_KEY=<your-access-key>
```

## Client Roles

| Role | Permission |
|------|------------|
| `webpubsub.joinLeaveGroup` | Join/leave any group |
| `webpubsub.sendToGroup` | Send to any group |
| `webpubsub.joinLeaveGroup.<group>` | Join/leave specific group |
| `webpubsub.sendToGroup.<group>` | Send to specific group |

## Best Practices

1. **Use Groups**: Organize connections into groups for targeted messaging
2. **User IDs**: Associate connections with user IDs for user-level messaging
3. **Token Expiration**: Set appropriate token expiration for security
4. **Roles**: Grant minimal required permissions via roles
5. **Hub Isolation**: Use separate hubs for different application features
6. **Connection Management**: Clean up inactive connections

## Trigger Phrases

- "Web PubSub Java"
- "WebSocket messaging Azure"
- "real-time push notifications"
- "server-sent events"
- "chat application backend"
- "live updates broadcasting"

firecrawl-build-onboarding

Get Firecrawl credentials and SDK setup into a project. Use when an application needs `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY`, when an agent should add Firecrawl to `.env`, when the user wants to authenticate Firecrawl for app code, or when choosing the first SDK and docs for a new Firecrawl integration. This skill includes its own browser auth flow, so it does not depend on the website onboarding skill.

firecrawl-build

Integrate Firecrawl into application code whenever a product, agent, or workflow needs web data inside the app — web search, live search results, page scraping, structured extraction, or browser interaction. Use when building any feature that needs data from the web in code, even if the user does not mention Firecrawl explicitly and only describes wanting web data, website content, search, scraping, or interaction in an application. Trigger for Firecrawl requests, "fire girl" shorthand, and generic app-level web-data needs that should map to `/scrape`, `/search`, or `/interact`. Do not use this skill for one-off terminal-only web tasks during the current session; use `firecrawl/cli` for those.

⭐ 39577

firecrawl-build-scrape

Integrate Firecrawl `/scrape` into product code for single-page extraction. Use when an app already has a URL and needs markdown, HTML, links, screenshots, metadata, or structured page output. Prefer this skill over broader crawl patterns when the feature is page-level.
